IgG1

thingiverse

The stl. file was prepared by two immunology students, Myriam and Adyson, at the University of Toulouse (www.univ-tlse3.fr) to print the IgG1 molecule. This "Thing" was created within a pedagogical scenario aiming to introduce the students to examining and handling 3D structures, resulting in a gallery of portraits of molecules with immunological interest. The printing process took place at CampusFab (https://fablab.univ-tlse3.fr/wiki/index.php/Accueil), the LabLab of the University (twitter account: @fablabups). Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes How I Designed This: I recovered the 3D structure of the protein from the protein databank (www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do) with accession number 1igy. It was downloaded using the .gz extension and then adapted for 3D printing using Chimera software (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/) before saving it in the .stl format. The final printout took place on a MakerBot Replicator (www.makerbot.com).
